pygmalion

Slowdive departed from the shoegaze sound with the mesmerizing minimalistic murmurings of this shimmering sorrowful swansong. Formed in Reading, England by childhood friends Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell, the group was signed to Creation Records and became associated with the shoegaze movement with their first two albums'Just For A Day' and'Souvlaki'.Engineered and produced by Chris Hufford and Slowdive, 'Pygmalion' was recorded at Courtyard Studios in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire and features Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell on vocals and guitar; with Christian Savill on guitar; Nick Chaplin on bass guitar; and Adrian Sell and Ian McCutcheon on drums.
